Will we have enough cash?
Review the lowest balance against the minimum buffer. Cash receipts are not earned revenue, and a profitable booking can still create a funding gap.
Buffer breach
R 79 500
The trough occurs in the week of 12 October. Profit remains positive, but the venue lacks R 20 500 against policy.
Management can still change
- Larger customer deposit
- Earlier second instalment
- Selected supplier-term change
